PROHIBITION QUESTIONS.
Test Cases Before the United States s


Test Cases Before the United States Su.
preme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Samuel W. Pack
ard, of Chicago, Of counsel for the Kansas
and Iowa Prohibitionists, submitted in the
United States Supreme Court yesterday a
motion that four Iowa prohibition
cases, involving the same questions as
those in the Kansas case of Diebold
and Hagelin, be advanced and set for
argument at an early day, and that
meanwhile the court reserve it's decision IN
the Kansas case. He also asks that pro-
hibition case from Georgia, Menkin against
the city Of Atlanta, be included in his mo-
tion provided he should receive in time
authority tc act therein. The counsel for
the liquor sellers, without opposing Pack
ards motion, asked leave to call the
courts attention to the fact that it had
already four cases of this character under
Amusement, and that the case of Z,ebold
and Hagelin. which Packard asked should
not yet be decided, had been advanced ut
the direct request Of the Attorney General
Of Kansas. The Chief Justice replied that
the court had the facts in mind. A decis-
ion upon Packard's motion Will probably
be announced Monday.

WHAT HE THINKS OF US.

Opinion of an East Indian Prince Of Amerf.

NEW York, Oct. 21.-His Highness the
Ihakore Sahib of Limbdi, India, the first
Indian prince to visit America, sailed for
England yesterday morning by the White
Star steamer Germanic. Before leaving
be was seen by a reporter, to whom he
gave his views concerning America as fol-
lows: "First," said he, "your scenery
who can describe it? 1t is SO varied and
so grand. The bay and harbor Of
New York are enchanting. Ma

It is wrong that man has not done
justice to nature. Your streets are
wretched, your docks disgraceful. your
public buildings are apparently defective
and ignorantly located. When Indians
or Frenchmen or Englishmen, or any
other civilized people, expend millions on
a public building they endeavor to place
it where it can be seen to advantage.
This appears not to be thought Of in
America. AS for scenery, Yellowstone
Park impressed me most wildly and
strangely. In India we are accustomed
to gigantic ruins, and my first impression
on seeing this park was that it must at
one time have been the home of mighty
people, and that the great natural won.
ders were the ruins left behind them, their
only monuments, like America. 1t is q

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.

terrific Explosion Of Natural Gas In Pitts
burEh-Eixht Persons Injured.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 19.-The first seri-
Gus natura! gas explosion in this city in
two years occurred few minutes after ten
O'Clock this morning in the Hotel Abe
mario and Bljou Theater block on Sixth
avenue. The explosion was attended with
frightTul injuries to number Of people
and great destruction to some OF the finest
property In the city. For some days past
the workmen employed by the Peoples
Gas Company have been engaged in re-
pairing the pipes running into the theater
and hotel An odor of escaping gas was
noticed early this morning, but for some
reason not yet explained nothing was done
to have the gas turned of. About 10:15
there were three terrific explosions stimuli
taneously in the cellars Of D. T. Reed, the
optician, the Hotel Albermarle and the BIZ
jou Theater. The conclusion shook the
buildings for several squares and broke
every plate glass window in the block. Al
most instantly flames shot from many parts
Of the block, but before they gained much
Roadway, were controlled by the prompt
work Of the fire department. Hotel Alber-
marie Bijou Theater entrance and shops
which fronted on Sixth avenue between
the hotel entrance and library hall were
terribly shattered. An investigation
showed eight persons had been seriously
hurt, two Of them fatally, and at least as
many more slightly hurt. Names of
seriously injured are: Jacob Din
ger, gas emplOye, internally injured,
legs and arms broken, recovery impossible;
Thomas Seaman, gas employe, badly
burned, will die; two colored men, Ger
man and an Italian, names unknown, terri
bly, burned, will probably recover; Fireman
Gus Dalte, painfully cut and bruised.
large number OF others sustained bruises
and burns. The damage has not yet been
estimated, but will be heavy.

lists.
CHARLESTON, Mo-, Oct. 2l.-At Benton,
yesterday, Judge O'Bryan fined Trimble,
Burnes and Heiser 500 each for poisoning
Ben Deering, the evangelist in that town,
in April, 1856. They were under indict-
ment for felony and could have been easily
convicted and sent to the penitentiary, but
Ben Deering agreed that they should
plead guilty Of assault and be fined by the
court, and the Judge gave them the full
fine except Imprisonment. Mr.. Deerins
has watched them carefully since the crime
was committed. and being assured of their
reformation, determined to save them from
the penitentiary. But for his action in the
matter, dictated solely by a desire to see
the men become good citizens, they would
have been convicted, as the evidence was
conclusive. Trimble is mayor Of the village
of Oran, and q good Methodist since his
year ago, and the other par
ties have both reformed.

Gale on the Atlantic Coast.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-Advices to the As
sociated Press indicate that severe easter
ly gale, accompanied by rain, prevails
along the North Atlantic coast from North
Carolina to Massachusetts, and serious dis
asters to shipping are feared. Along the
New Jersey coast many vessels were driven
into barber for shelter, having suffered
more or less severely. The steamer Charles
F. Mayer. collier, bound from Boston for
Baltimore, went ashore last night at Chad
wick, N. ]. She lies high and dry on the
beach. The steamer, being nearly new and
having no cargo on board, may possibly be
got on when the sea goes down. The crew,
seventeen in number, were all taken ashore
in the breeches buoy.

THE RAILWAY TRAGEDY.

me Mystery Surrounding the Murder
Solved 1t Last By the Positive Identifies
ton Of tho Victim - Mrs. Annie lngram,
An Engi sh Woman.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 30.-Detect.
ives Gregory and Fitzgerald yesterday
succeeded in establishing the identity Of
the woman mysteriously murdered at
Railway several months ago. The victim
was Mrs. Annie Ingram, who two years
ago came to America from Birmingham,
England. She married while in En-
gland, but her husband lived only
a few months after their marriage.
While at Castle Garden she obtained q
situation with George Martin, of Metu.
chen, and lived there nearly q year. She
and Martin quarreled great deal. An
ME was frequently under the influence Of
liquor. She struck Martin and destroyed
all his fur niture. For this she was ar.
rested, tried here and acquitted. She re.
manned here and obtained work in the
United States Hotel. Fer drinking hab
its, however, resulted in her discharge,
and she went to Mrs. William Fishers at
Five-Mile lock, where she remained
only a few weeks. From there she
went to Bound Brook and entered the fam
lily of Mrs. Peter H. Miller. While in
Bound Brook she became acquainted with
a man whom she married on December 8.
She left her husband on the NEXT morning
and vert to Philadelphia, leaving all her
effects behind. The man disappeared a
few days later and has not been seen
since. Who he is the officers refuse
to say. Shortly before she was
mustered the woman returned to New
p,.,,v, -x~-sa av,1 ~
at the United States Hotel, but disappear
ed suddenly and was not seen again. The
detectives, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson
and Mrs. Stevens, of New Brunswick, Wis
tied Chief kerron's Office at Elizabeth
yesterday and examined the murdered
woman's effects. Mrs. Wilson identified
the rings as her property, she having
loaned them to Annie when she married the
Bound Brook man. The chemise had also
been presented the woman by Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Stevens recognized the rings as
those worn by Annie while at her hotel
the last time. Both women were positive
that the clothing shown was worn by
Annie Ingram. When asked if Annie
owned a knife Mrs. Wilson said Eyes,"
and infinitely described the knife in pos
session of the chief, although it had not
been shown her. They both described the
woman carefully, and the description tai
lied exactly with that of the dead woman.
Late yesterday Afternoon the detectives ex-
amined trunk in Mrs. Wilson's house. 1t
contained several photographs of the dead
woman, and also one of Ingram, and a
large package of letters was found, some
being from the woman's sister, lilly King
Of % Tennett street, Birmingham, En-
gland. The officers would not say how
he woman happened to be in Railway,
Ind positively declined to say who the
nan is whom she married in Bound Brook.
They left the city on the seven o'clock
train, saying that they expected to get
their man before midnight.

KNIGHTS OE LABOR.
Close OF the General Assembly-Some Of
the Work Accomplished.


the Work Accomplished.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 20.-Three
days work was crowded into one by the
General Assembly of the Knights of Labor
yesterday and everybody was tired when,
at the end of a continuous session Of nine
hours, the gavel fell and the convention
was declared at an end. The administers
ton party is. on the whole, well satisfied
with what has been accomplished, al
though considerable regret is expressed
that it was not strong enough to balance
the discordant element in the executive
board and confer autocratic powers upon
the general master workman.
The anti-administrat.on men, on the
other hand, while deriving some ccnsola.
ton from their partial victory, are brimful
of dissatisfaction with the general outcome
of the gathering and unsparing in then
criticisms of tho treatment which they
have received ut its hands. Among the
enormous number of documents passed
upon yesterday rather the most importan,
was resolution granting cigarmakers
who belong to the Cigarmarkers' Inter.
national Union, which was expelled by &C.
tion Of the Richmond convention, the priv.
ilege of reinstatement without payment Of
fee. This was in accordance with Powder
ly's recommendation in his report.
The session was opened in the morning
with additional reports from the committee
on law. A recommendation that the main
tenance Of a cooperative fund be made
optional with locals was adopted, as also
was one that there be no change In the
management Of the journal Further &C
ton provided that the general executive
board should have nothing to do with
strikes unless called upon TO interfere by
the district assemblies or national trade:
assemblies involved. Assemblies desiring
new rituals were ordered TO return Ole
copies before receiving the new.
The Anarchistic element received another
bac'Sset when the assembly resolved by 6
vote of liz to % that Knights Of Labor ir
parade should carry nothing but the State
or national colors. There can be no more
